Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From Sheridan Voysey, Writer:聽
A few years ago, researchers did a fascinating experiment. Wanting to know when people would step in to help a stranger, they asked participants to watch a woman named Elaine experience a series of mild electric shocks. The observers were told a little about Elaine beforehand, including her personal values and interests. The experiment began. But in a pre-arranged dramatic twist, Elaine started exaggerating her response to the shocks, prompting an assistant to walk in and suggest one of the observers take her place. It turned out those who shared Elaine鈥檚 values and interests were four-times more likely to step in than those who didn鈥檛.聽
Of all the stories Jesus told, the Good Samaritan is probably his most famous, inspiring artists from Rembrandt to Billy Bragg, and the creation of innumerable hospitals and charities. A man is beaten up and left for dead. A priest walks past and does nothing. So does a lawyer. Then a Samaritan comes by. In that day he鈥檚 despised because of his race and beliefs, but he carries the beaten man to hospital and pays for his recovery. The story is shocking because it goes against the tendency revealed in that experiment. A person steps in who is least like the person he helps.聽
True Good Samaritan acts are equally shocking when they happen today. I think of the group of Israeli women who smuggled some Palestinians onto a West Bank beach so they and their children could swim in the sea鈥攁 small gesture that came at great personal risk. I think of the Muslim man in New York who stepped in when a Jewish couple was racially abused, and our own Patrick Hutchinson鈥攁 black protestor stepping in to carry a white counter-protestor to safety. Given our propensity to only help people like ourselves, I can imagine Jesus pointing to each of these people and saying, 鈥淭hat鈥檚 what I mean.鈥� Black, white. Liberal, conservative. Believer of this kind or that. In a time of raised voices and clenched fists, maybe the real measure of our humanity is whether we can step in to help those who don鈥檛 look, think or believe like us.
